Bioponica Farming Systems

Source for all good things soilless and organic. Process equipment, growing beds and accessories for making fertilizer, growing plants in soilless beds and components. For closing the loop on sustainable farming..

The Nutricycler is a combination kit that extracts nutrients from dry biomass and biofilters the solution into a plant ready liquid. Making liquid fertilizer is easy, when utilizing biology to digest and biofilter into a plant ready solution.

Use for soilless grow systems inlcuding hydroponics, aquaponics and bioponics.

Available for small 5 gallon, 50 gallon and 240 gallon extraction setups.

Includes a 2 or 5 gallon vortex plus one or more 1CF biofiltration bags.

Bioponica's Primordial Soup blends are mixtures of biomass organic ingredients that provide a liquid fertilizer when converted using the Nutricycler systems.

GreenUpPrimordial Soup is high in nitrogen and macrominerals.

FlowerUp contains high phosphorus, calcium and minerals

MineralUp is a high mineral blend that produces and acidic liquid high in macrominerals and trace elements.

The Biogarden

The self contained Biogarden is an all-weather, vertical hydroponic growing system that is adaptable to a variety of growing configurations. Tanks below each vertical level of grow beds give the grower an opportunity to segment the operation for all varieties of growing. In one greenhouse, a series of Biogarden systems may be used for growing plants with different nutrient needs, for raising fish or not, for deep water raft culture, aggregate beds or for pure aquaculture.

Primordial Soup Nutrient Blends

Over the last 5 years, Bioponica has put in a lot of work studying the nutrient content and extraction potential of various biomasses for making liquid fertilizers. We started with grasses, coffee grounds, kudzu, food discards and brewery grains. We then created blends of dried biomasses that provide different ratios of N, P and K. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium support plant growth phases of greening-vegetative, flowering-budding and tissue strength and plant fruiting. Our blends contain mixtures that when extracted by microbes, either through nutricycling or through soil nourishment yields inorganic elements that are readily taken up by plant roots and nourish plants through different phases of growth.

The Nutricycler

The Nutricycler is made up of any configuration of elements that allow for the extraction and biofiltration of liquids made from biomass. The necessary parts per our design to make liquid fertilizer through the process we call 'nutricycling' are anaerobic digestion tanks (or buckets), vortex aeration and mixing buckets and biofiltration media. Nutricycling is a relatively simple process and adaptable to a variety of settings, from the small backyard or rooftop hydroponics system to aquaponics systems to large scale soil or soilless growing environments.

Accessories for optimal growing

With the Biogarden, Nutricycler or Primordial Soup Dry Blend there are a number of accessories to keep your organic hydroponics and fertilizer making project optimized. Here you will find grow trays for deep water culture, drip lines for aggregate beds, pumps, plumbing, net pots, tanks for extracting nutrients from biomass, biofilter bags, vortex aerators and more.

DIY Biogarden

Many individuals who are in the space of aquaponics and organic hydroponics and in soil and plant fertility have special interests and skills. We are now offering the components, instead of only the full Biogarden kits, to DIY do it yourself-ers who like the idea and materials we source or manufacture, but who wish to build their own. So if you have 18" pipes but want end plates or else you want frames to use with wooden structures or if you wish to make a 40' trough with a 10' tank below, you can source all the materials here to "do it yourself!"

The Biofarm of Oakland Oregon

In 2017, Bioponica completed the installation of it's first commercial aquaponics growing facility. The Biofarm of Oakland, operates year round to demonstrate growing plants and producing liquid fertilizer. The site is used for educational workshops. Here we conduct research on production, yield and techniques for sustainable methods of soilless agriculture.

About us

Bioponica was established in 2010 by physician, entrepreneur David Epstein, D.O. and farmer, engineer Kenneth Lovell, P.E. Our goal was to build a more practical system for commercial aquaponics. The result was the Biogarden and the Nutricycler and Primordial Soup Nutrients. Our process for organic hydroponics and for making organic liquid fertilizer from biomass improves the nutritional quality of plants and the sustainability of organic agriculture.
